Dated March 28, 1919, the document is a report from the Galveston Rotary Club to its officers and members with a recommendation to form a Boy Scout movement in Galveston. The three-page document still survives to this day and is now commonly referred to as the Bay Area Council Charter. As early as 1920, the Daily News, the oldest newspaper in Texas, carried a regular column called "The Scout Roundup." On August 14, 1962, Mrs. Mary Moody Northen donated a check for $100,000 to the council to build a new headquarters (where we are still housed today.) She made the donation in honor of her late husband, Edwin C. Northen, a longtime Scouter who was active in the council. Today, the council serves more than 8,000 youth through the leadership of more than 2,000 adult volunteers. 2024 Executive Committee Cory Moss – President James Ware – VP Development & Immediate Past President Derick Meadows – Council Commissioner Myles Shelton – Treasurer Walt Wundrow – VP Administration Mike Henderson – VP Membership/Relationships Roger Boyer – VP Program Art Orscheln – VP Properties 2024 Executive Board Kim Barker Terri Burchfield James “Chezo” Cesarini Brent Cockerham Joe Dervay Mark Fridye Jim Galbraith Charles Mouton Fred Raschke Scott Livingston Rene Julien 2023 Honorary Board Charles Doyle Ed Mabry William Otte Jr. Frank Resch Dr. Robert Schwebel | Scout Executive - TBD Scouting debut:
